football time
When it comes down to it, I'm thinking about football all the time. When I'm on the golf course, I'm thinking about it. It's never out of your brain.
air happens original time unless
I will never repeat something verbatim on the air unless I know it's accurate. And when you go to the source, sometimes there's a better story beyond the original story. That happens all the time.
extremely football monday night people prime special sports time work worked
Monday Night Football started in 1970, and when it started, it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So, it was a novelty, and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work, and, of course, it worked spectacularly well.
thinking technology available
When dealing in the technology, it becomes a question of whether you overuse something. I think that's worse than having something technologically available to you and not using it.
couple believe next
I still believe Emmitt has enough left in the tank to be a productive back over the next couple of seasons.
football monday night
Those three words, Monday Night Football, resonate like no other.
running years careers
Any time a running back reaches the age of 31 or 32, he has to lose a step. No one is a freak of nature. No one is going to be able to take the pounding a running back has to take over a 10- or 12-year career and not lose a step.

I've always felt that I'm in a spontaneous business and if you script something, if you plan something, it will sound that way.
nbc minnesota bills
It was the Buffalo Bills at the Minnesota Vikings on NBC. It went to about five markets.
hockey differences clothes
People didn't know the difference between a blue line and a clothes line.
team taken miami-dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have to be taken seriously. Here's a team that seems to be jelling.
sports team hate
I think the Cowboys are one of only two teams in all of sports that engender love and hate to that extreme. The other is the Yankees. You love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees.
growing-up kids years
As a kid growing up, I was so in sync as a fan that that served me well through the years. I can feel the game. And I try to match where the game is with my inflection, with my - the tonal quality, with getting excited.
